Effective January 1, 2025, staff and academic personnel leave policies will be revised to:
- Expand eligibility for paid sick leave, including ensuring that part-time employees have access to paid sick leave.
- Expand the reasons for which employees may use paid sick leave.
- Provide paid sick leave that is “protected” so that the employee can be entitled to take the leave for a qualifying reason.
- Extend the period during which paid sick leave may be reinstated if an employee is reemployed after a separation from employment.
To help UC’s staff and academic personnel prepare for the upcoming expansion of paid sick leave, UCOP published an informational article and page with frequently asked questions on UCnet:
